This week is set to be a scorcher with some parts of the country tipped to see temperatures soar to 30 deg C on Tuesday, WeatherWatch has forecast. The places most likely to hit the 30 deg C mark are Hawke's Bay, Canterbury, and Northland. Canterbury - Thicker cloud cover spreading over the Southern Alps at times and most places not quite in that subtropical flow. Highs in the shade on Tuesday will likely be in the late 20s with Hastings tipped to reach 29C. Northland - The upper half of the North Island will have the added aspect of humidity with the subtropical winds.
